Sometimes with the really stubborn bikes and awkward customers, I used to swap the chain for a sachs one from stock when the boss wasn’t looking – it usually made the vital bit of difference!

Cheap Bikes at Asda this are instrument of torture 
Certainly it’s a shame that Asda sells the bikes with the forks on the wrong way. But I think the cheap bikes have their own merit.
They are cheap and they can get you to anywhere in the neighborhood. You don’t have to worry about the bike being stolen or getting rusty in rainy days.
I bought a single-speed bike in a discount store in Japan for about 7500 yen, including the charge of a basket. For two years, I didn’t have any problem with it, not even a flat. Residents there often ride bikes (three speeds) from discount stores.
The bike I’m riding for commute was also bought in a discount store. I’m thinking about getting a new one. Maybe not from a discount store this time, but I still don’t want to spend a lot on a commute bike which needs lots of care.
The only advice for buying bikes in discount stores is that get the bike without any suspension. Even a single-speed is enough.
But when I go for a real ride, I ride my Fuji road bike or KHS folding bike.
